Metamorphism in subduction zones

1990
Subduction zones are associated with the greatest disturbances to the flow of heat from the interior of the Earth. They are also the sites of large departures from isostatic equilibrium in the lithosphere, particularly in the regions where oceanic plates bend to begin their descent into the Earth’s mantle.

Sediment subduction and frictional sliding in a subduction zone

Geology, 1980
New experimental data for the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of clays at high pressure and high temperature are applied to model the frictional sliding in a subduction zone. The model is believed applicable because of the large volume of pelagic sediments that appear to have been subducted with the oceanic plate along active Pacific margins ...

Subduction Zones in the Oceans

2001
The formation of new oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges requires a complementary mechanism by means of which lithospheric plates are consumed. The required destruction of lithospheric plates takes place in subduction zones located in the oceans and along the margins of some continents.

Stress orientations in subduction zones and the strength of subduction megathrust faults

Science, 2015
Faults well oriented for failure A deck of cards will remain motionless while pressed on from above, but easily separates when sheared. Similarly, the ease by which geological faults rupture depends on the geometry of the fault relative to the size and direction of stress.
